5 Self-Limiting Beliefs that Hold You Back from Who You Want To Be
The lies we tell ourselves to keep us comfortable and safe but instead they just keep us stuck
You’re not lazy. You’re just listening to the wrong voice in your head.
This episode breaks down 5 invisible saboteurs that make you think you're stuck. The reality is you're just thinking the wrong thoughts.
Think of your brain like an iPhone. If it runs on a 2012 mindset, don’t expect 2025 results.
Sam dives into the limiting beliefs that sneak into our self-talk, from the myth of perfectionism to the lie that you “don’t have enough willpower.” You'll hear how comedians bomb for years, why imposter syndrome gets worse with success, and what cats can teach us about distraction.
-
Flip the script on your inner critic before it sets the tone for your day.
-
Ditch “I need to be ready” and build momentum instead.
-
Learn to treat willpower like an emotion, not a battery.
You’re one mindset shift away from progress.
